Bistro Burger

The Niman ranch burger cooked perfectly along with curly Fries. Comfortable at bar area and very spacious and clean. Service was fantastic. Do have happy hour as well.

Haven’t tried anything else but first time for the vegan burger and it was the best vegetarian burger I’ve had in years (around 50 years). Was good enough to order one to go but it was too good to not share so gave it to my granddaughter. She loved it as well. Addictive! Service was great, the food was great! Keep it up. Noticed some reviews in the past where service was spotty but I have not experienced that. Told my masseuse about my experience at Bistro Burger after she had voiced her concern about standard items not being available. She is looking forward to giving it another try. Fries were delicious as well.

Very delicious, fresh, and unique. The veggie burger is decadent, patty is a rice and bean mix– very moist and different than any I had ever had. Delicious toppings and a crunchy, fluffy bun. Can’t wait to try everything else

Burgers we had were all delicious! The house fries and the fried chicken sandwich are the best! Would definitely come again.

Really good burgers! Both chicken and beef as well as tasty salads and really good shakes!!! If you want burgers and salads this will work for you!

Bravo! Burger Bistro for another stellar meal! This time I brought my parents and they loved it! My dad isn’t a big eater but he thoroughly enjoyed the calamari, fries, and salad (and so did my mom and myself). Again, kudos to the staff for a very enjoyable meal and we’ll definitely be back!

Perfect spot for a burger and beer. Excellent choices for both. What more do you need?

I tried the Diablo Truffle Burger (Truffle aioli, roasted tomatoes, parmesan). Everything was great, the bun, meat, cheese, aioli. Also tried the truffles parmesan fries, which were very good. Good stuff!

Revisited the restaurant and had a much better experience. We had a great server this time and that made a world of difference. The hamburgers were tasty, and the sides all pretty good. Still, timing is off and at times, you couldn’t help but feel forgotten.
The place was hopping though so it’s safe to say, welcome to the neighborhood!

This is a great neighborhood burger joint.
First, with a name like that, it should be all about the burger. And Bistro Burger really delivers. We have dined there on three occasions, and each time the patty was seasoned right, a nice beefy taste, and cooked correctly (I like mine medium rare, and overcooking is a big pet peeve…). They have great topping combinations (see my favs below). And the price is right, a bit lower than other sit down casual restaurants in the area, and coupons and check in specials are available if you look around. What’s not to like? Very little.
Others have complained about the service. We have had a few bugs, but nothing that ruined it for me. Slow water refills, but I guess I’m not the type that needs my glass to be instantly filled whenever I take a sip. Out of a beer selection one time, so OK, I adapted. And, I think they’ve hired additional waiters to handle some of the issues. Otherwise on our visits they’ve been friendly, know the menu well, and have been fast but without making us feel rushed.
Menu highlights:
Truffle fries!
Paris Burger (brie, caramelized onions, and sauteed mushrooms
Blue cheese burger (blue cheese, caramelized onions, and an A-​1 mayo)
Bbq burger (my son swears by this… BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, and bacon)
Chicken sandwich. (Yeah, a chicken sandwich at a burger joint. I’m almost going to have to switch to this as my standard order. It’s more like a chicken po’ boy, on nice crusty bread, with lettuce, tomato, cole slaw, and a remoulade-​like spicy mayo.)
Good beer list, wine specials, a darn good milkshake (we got the Oreo flavor), and TVs tuned into sports games round out the vibe here.

I love this spot :)
Awesome service, awesome burgers. Try the house sauce on your tater tots

My only regret is that I did not enjoy my burger more slowly so that I could have savored the splooge of goodness that graced my taste buds… definitely recommend!
I had the California burger and it tasted homemade as if made by a caring grandmother and her secret burger recipe brought over from the old country, it was seriously delicious. My wife had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and not only was it equally delicious, but the portion looked liked it could feed two grown men. Both burgers were a bit pricey, but rest assured that this meal will be well worth your five day’s pay as there is no doubt this will be one of the best burgers you could ever hope to enjoy throughout your comparably meager existence. Sometimes they have groupon offers, so keep your eye out because they have been steadily increasing their prices.
The service leaves much to be desired, the people work as if they were in a morgue and not the most delicious burger restaurant to have graced the western frontier. The atmosphere felt much like San Francisco so if you enjoy that then prepare to be pleased, if not then prepare to be surrounded by a snowstorm of upperclass self proclaimed snowflakes.

Finally!!! This place is open!!! I was waiting for restaurant to be open almost 5months now! I finally had time to try it today! My experience was great, they had good vibe, the interior was done great! They did an amazing job to this place!
Food: I got the Cajun rubbed chicken breast burger ($ 13) added avocados ($ 1.50). I thought it was pretty expensive but tbh when the food came out, how much meat they gave you was crazy! They gave me 2 chicken breast for the burger and they had all the etc on the side so you can manage how much you put in (tomatoes, lettuces, pickles, cucumbers, etc). Let me tell you about the meat itself, they did a great job on marinating
Itself! Also I got the sweet potato fries ($ 5).
Service: They are friendly ppl, they are willing to listen to you! They took about 10mins, which wasn’t so bad, I mean I went there around 11:30am, so there was no wait! Like I said, interior was well done, and they made this place look huge unlike when Susan ford used to be there!
Parking: there is a big parking space in the back but usually it get packed if you come afternoon.
Overall: Give these guys a chance, come by and try it yourself and see if you like it or not. I give 4 star because fries but if you are going for a burger. This is a great place to go to.
*Note: if you are not that hungry sharing a burger or a meal is better because they are very generous about their servings!

We’ve eaten at Oyama which is right next door for the last 6 or so months. We’ve kinda walked by too because the outside is quite ordinary in appearance.
Well as they say, «Don’t judge a book by it’s cover».
So we went in today because we needed to broaden our go-​to list of restaurants near the Lafayette BART station. Inside the restaurant was much more brighter and livelier in appearance than the outside. Upon entering, you’ll see a long bar with 8 stools and two large flat screens. Nice. The restaurant is nicely but minimally decorated with seating for around 20 – 25. Of note, the bathroom was really nicely maintained and for you parents, there’s a nice little crib for diaper changes. Very thoughtful on the part of the owners of this place.
So we ordered two mini burgers and I ordered a cheeseburger. We also got the truffle oil infused fries with cheese. First thing we noticed was that the meat quality was pretty good. They’re cooked medium unless you specify otherwise. One of the big cons though was that the lower buns for both burgers were slightly flattened and soggy. A bun with better structure might’ve made it better, but they did toast the bun nicely to lessen the meat soakage time. That said, the buns were nice and soft. Not like Five Guys soft, but it was a good tasting bun. The bun included a spread of some sort as well as lettuce, tomato, and a sweet slice of a pickle (I believe it was a pickle). Overall I really enjoyed the burger and I do intend to come back again.
Of note, first time check in’s rewards you with 20% off. Nice.

I like new places to work out the kinks for a few months before trying. They are still working out kinks.
Food: Overall, food was pretty darn tasty.
BBQ Burger — medium well. We got the larger burger and it didn’t seem that large.
Fried Chicken Sandwich — very crispy and light batter. I was impressed.
Sweet Potato waffle fries — recommended and very, very good.
Bacon & Cheese fries — ordinary, I wouldn’t order that again.
Vanilla milkshake
Ice Tea
Service: Took nearly 15 minutes for someone to come by to our table for us to order. Only because we were hounding them down. There were about 4 people behind the bar and the place only has about 10 tables. Did I mention that I was starving? The server came by and she was a bit of an airhead. My friend and I just shook our heads at each other.
The kitchen is fast and our food was hot! I dug in.
Ambiance: It’s minimal. The bar is the showcase.

They still need to work out things before I return.
Your menu says Coke products but you now say you have Pepsi products. Your menu is on laminated paper. It isn’t an expensive cost to change it to reflect Pepsi.

Just had the Hawaiian pineapple cheddar burger and it was amazing. So delicious. I love that they have a smaller 4oz burger size. This is my second time here. My first visit I had the Paris Burger which was equally mouth watering.
This is the same Bistro Burger that is so popular in downtown SF financial district. I use to go often when I worked in that area. I am delighted they have a location in the burbs and will be stopping in regularly!

Had a great Sunday lunch.
We arrived around noon, the restaurant was much bigger than I expected and were seated in the corner, which was perfect because we had a toddler with us.
Ordered:
Cheeseburger (4oz)
Paris burger (4oz)
Kids cheeseburger (4oz)
House fries
2 blond ales
=~$ 40
Fantastic service, the food was good and well priced. The restaurant was a bit loud, but that was nice since my son watched the iPad (we could turn the volume up and nobody cared).
Yes, we will go back.

This place rocks! Went there for my birthday with my family and they had great food, wine, prices and gluten free buns. Service was excellent. It may still be a new place and working out a few bumps but we didn’t have any. We will definitely be back. The owner was present and was hands on. He even offered my children a complimentary milkshake.
They have a great atmosphere and big screen tv’s for any sports viewing.
This is a must try for Lafayette dining.
